CONGO RATS!!! If I wind up getting an NOS setup it would be a Zex system. I've heard a lot of really good things about that system. Make sure to let us know how it accent feels w/ MOAR POWAA!!

Uh, which brand again? blink.gif





All sarcasm aside, go with NX. The other 2 are junk IMO.

well, I haven't looked too much into other nitrous systems but Zex came highly recommended from a buddy of mine that used to drag and street race. Thanks for the info thoug, I'll definately check it out.

"only" a 50 shot on a 110hp engine? That's about the max you would want to consider running if you would like your engine to last a while.

Sure, it's possible to run even more, but if you're thinking a 50 shot is small IMO you're mistaken. That's a serious shot for your engine.

That's not a lot. I've almost tripled the stock HP of the Beta with a turbo. Ran an 80 shot several times before. Both of which are over 80% increases. A 50 shot on an Accent is less than 50%. I wouldn't hessitate to do it.

Just saying, a 50 shot is a serious shot on an Accent compared to a lot of cars. On a bigger engine it would barely notice. Just wanted to be sure that she knew it had to be done carefully, correctly, and taken seriously if she didn't want to have problems.

Lots of people have run 50 shots on Accents so I know it's not a big deal if done right.

Everything is in and I wub.gif it! We decided to use just a 35 shot for now until I get really good at using it. Then we'll upgrade it to a 50 shot. Its so much fun and Ive already gone through a full bottle. drive.gif

I raced a riced out civic the other day and totally blew him out of the water. Wish I could of seen his face because I know it must of been priceless for him to get beat by an Accent, let alone a girl! laughathim.gif patpat.gif

Nice! Just be careful how often you spray. Do it for only 10-12 seconds, and give the motor plenty of cooldown time inbetween runs. Change those spark plugs every other oil change.

Also remember, this site isn't anal about posting vids of you winning. So get a camera man. wink.gif
